      Even though we have much better, much newer TV boxes now, I still use the old MBOX with Android 4.4.2 shown in this video, and I'm continually amazed at how well it continues to work. Upgrade Secrets Part 1 is out of date. For the latest info (censored here on YT) please watch:
      www.dailymotion.com/video/x8b1s73, Spring 2022 Upgrade Review, uploaded 5/23/22, and
      dai.ly/k2o5azuTmeQerLwTPFH MXQ Upgrade Secrets Part 3, uploaded 5/22/21
      Set up your MBOX with Android 4.4.2 as shown in Upgrade Secrets Part 3, learn how to set up and use the video app featured there, and there's almost nothing that you won't be able to watch. It's that good.

      Try upgrading Google Play services (three words, with spaces between them) variant for Android KitKat 4.1 from whatever you have now to version 20.1.04 (available on apkmirror.com). It should make a huge difference on your MXQ. The buttons on my OEM MXQ remote, on-screen Android AOSP keyboard, and external mini keyboard all work normally since I've upgraded to 20.1.04, same as when I'm using them on any other box. Whatever the driver issues were, I believe the Google Play services developers have fixed it. Please let us know how you make out...

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I doubt that there's anything wrong with the USB function on your MBOX. Modern USB drives (32GB or greater) use the exFAT file system which is not recognized by Android OS. To use them on an MBOX you have to reformat them (using a Windows computer) to either FAT32 (preferred) or NTFS. Either that, or just try an older, smaller (512MB - 4GB) USB drive and you should be fine. Thanks for asking!

    What do i do if my apps keep crashing, android keeps freezing, also sometimes when android freezes the box starts making horrible sounds on TV speakers and the image gets all fuzzy (like an old TV) MXQ 4.4.2.

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's exactly how my MXQ Pro 4K with H234_V2.08 motherboard and
      Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow behaved prior to the make over. So, regardless which malfunctioning box someone might have, let's review the MBOX Frustrated User Guide upgrade procedure.
      1. Use Settings/Apps to uninstall each and every one of the
      malfunctioning apps. If the app can be removed, get rid of it. Don't be afraid. You're not going to harm anything. Android OS will not let you remove essential system apps.
      2. Delete all non-essential downloads, pictures, movies, ads,
      etc. Free up as much storage space on the eMMC as possible.
      3. Update Google Play services. As of April 3, 2020, the latest
      available versions start with 20.12, but new versions are released weekly. So, for someone reading this much later, don't be surprised if the current version numbers are much higher than that.
      4. Install the latest available Google App (which is different
      from Google Play services) and get yourself a gyroscopic, air mouse remote control with built-in microphone. These typically cost $7 to $10 with free shipping and are worth every penny.
      5. Take note of the launchers and apps shown in various episodes
      of MBOX Frustrated User Guide. Those apps work. Install just one or two of them (as recommended for your box and your version of Android OS). Watch what happens.
      Remember, streaming apps need room to work. As shown at the beginning of MXQ Upgrade Secrets, Part 2, if you fail to cede them that room, if you fill the eMMC with junk, nothing is going work, especially on MXQ models with limited storage.
      Have faith in the procedure, Filip. After you apply it, your box will be much improved.

    My MXQ box already has Google Play Services (GPS) V19.6.29 (100400-278422107) which apkpure says requires Android 9.0+ even though my box is running 4.4.2. Will having this version (V19.6.29) of GPS make my box work less since it's not compatible with the Android version my box has, or should I keep the V19.6.29 of GPS on my box?

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The fact that GPS V19.6.29 installed successfully on your MXQ proves that it is compatible. How well it's going to work is another matter. Personally, I'd run with it and see what happens. My MXQ (obviously not the same as yours) refuses to update past GPS V15.0.90 (000300-231259764)
      . That's the version Google recommends for KitKat and you can always revert to it if necessary. Hopefully, that won't be the case. Hopefully, you'll be able to take your MXQ to a much higher level than the one shown in the video. Thank you for the feedback!

      Have you tried resetting the box to factory defaults (toothpick method)? If it used to work but doesn't now, that should fix it. Otherwise, your box might be rooted. Run rootchecker.apk and kingroot.apk to see if you can correct that. Sorry for the delay in answering. I don't recall ever having received this message. Good luck. Thanks for commenting.

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Start here: github.com/AlexELEC/S905-trees A lot of trial and error is involved. You may have to image quite a few SD cards to find something that will work with your S905 box. Those that don't work on your box will hang on the S905 logo, so don't get discouraged when that happens. Eventually, you should find one that's going to work. Even then, MXQ Pro with S905 should be able to run Kodi 18.5 natively, so I'm not sure there's a whole lot to be gained by this. Have you watched "MXQ Pro Upgrade Secrets?" That procedure involves a lot less work and it yields amazing results!

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Two things: 1. The USB drive has to be formatted FAT32 (preferably) or NTFS. New (large capacity) USB drives are generally formatted exFAT at the factory and have to be reformatted before you can use them on an MBOX. MAC OS file formats don't work either and neither do any of the Linux file formats. 2. Before you retry, please watch MXQ Spring 2021 Upgrade Secrets at th-cam.com/video/-G__ZXVtQik/w-d-xo.html for the latest info. Version numbers have changed. One app changed its name. Other apps have shut down. New apps have since replaced them. Thanks for commenting. That's how we help each other!

      Old boxes don't have enough memory and don't have nearly enough internal storage for the latest versions of Android. But you can do this: th-cam.com/video/hnCAGyvCEgs/w-d-xo.html MXQ Fall 2023 Upgrade Secrets, with GREAT results. Just note that since MXQ Fall 2023 Upgrade Secrets was published, SkyTube split into 3 forks. The version to download now (3/15/2024) for use with Android 4.4.2 is called SkyTube Legacy (not SkyTube Extra). SmartTube has also auto updated, several times, since MXQ Fall 2023 Upgrade Secrets was published. Download the latest version, not the one shown in the video, directly from smarttubenext.org/ I've also added the Via browser to my MXQ. Get the latest directly from the publisher at viayoo.com/en/ Via is not perfect on Android 4.4.2, but it sure beats not having any browser. Note that SkyTube, SmartTube and Via are all up-to-date (2024) apps, not old abandoned apps that don't work anymore. Then there's www.dailymotion.com/video/x8b1s73, MXQ Spring 2022 Upgrade Review. The IPTV instructions given there are still 100% accurate. Follow them and you can watch almost every channel, everywhere, in every language, from all around, even on an old box with Android 4.4.2. And you can also follow the instructions www.dailymotion.com/video/x81fval given in MXQ Upgrade Secrets Part 3. The Part 3 instructions are still 100% accurate except the download location has changed. Download the latest version for any old box with S805 processor here: github.com/AlexELEC/AE-AML/releases/tag/3.3.3 - works great! Hope this reply helps. If so, please like share and subscribe.

      That's a very good question, and it's answered starting about 8 minutes, 15 seconds into the video. Please rewatch starting from there. Two important things I forgot to mention in this video: 1. The USB drive has to be formatted FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS. FAT32 is preferred. exFAT will not be recognized by KitKat., nor will any Apple/Mac OS file system. 2. Virtually any USB drive will work, even antique 256 MB (1/4 GB) and/or 512 MB (1/2 GB) models. You don't need to run out and buy a new USB drive. Also, this video is almost a year old. Much newer versions of Google Play services and Google.apk for Android KitKat 4.4.2 are available right now. Find the latest at apkmirror,com. And, please substitute MoviesTime v10.6.5 and TheatrePlus v1.14 [Mobile] for MorphTV and MoviePlayRed. Note that Mobdro is up to v2.1.70. MoviesTime, TheatrePlus and Mobdro are the top three streaming apps for MXQ right now (April, 2020). MXQ Upgrade Secrets Part 2 lists even more apps that work on MXQ. Part 3 shows how to get Kodi 18.6 working on MXQ, something you may also wish to do. Thanks for watching!

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      To get Netflix working again on Android 9: Disable google play store. Open a browser and go to apkpure.com. Search for "Netflix_v7.51.0 build 16 34782_apkpure.com.xapk" and download it together with the recommended xapk installer. Run the xapk installer as soon as you're prompted to do so. (If you fail to run it immediately, you'll have to open File Browser, navigate to the downloads folder and run it manually from there). Either way, Netflix once again works on Android 9.

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      And, it is possible to upgrade the Android version itself. You have to install Google.apk and you have to upgrade Google Play services. Watch MXQ Upgrade Secrets Parts 1 and 2 for details. Just make a mental adjustment - Android 9 for Android 4.4.2. The versions you want will be different but the procedure is the same.

      1. Find the About menu item in Settings and note the version of Android currently installed on your Megacra T9.
      2. If it's Android v4.2.2 download and install an Android v5.1.1 firmware update from here: www.yundootv.com/archives/2514
      3. Update any Android v5+ TV box, including your Megacra T9, as instructed here: www.dailymotion.com/video/x81bjyc
      4. If the Android 5.1.1 firmware update fails on your Megacra T9, then watch the remaining MXQ Upgrade Secrets episodes of MBOX Frustrated User Guide on Dailymotion: www.dailymotion.com/search/frustrated%20user%20guide/videos
      So, if you're not familiar with Dailymotion, know that instructional videos are muted by default. You have to unmute them using the speaker icon on the taskbar located at the bottom of the video player. Otherwise, there will be no sound. Also, HD Quality is set to 144p by default. To make the video watchable, you have to increase HD Quality to at least 480p using the Settings menu at the top right of the video player. Go figure... At least the videos are not censored. Good luck! Thanks for commenting.

    How to hide the clock at the top when theres something that i want to click but it is in the top i dont click it the notification is appeared

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure that I understand what's happening, but if you want to hide the tiny clock at the upper right corner of the display and the factory installed launcher does NOT allow you to do that, try another launcher. Full details are at the end of th-cam.com/video/WnPw6xkLV-I/w-d-xo.html MXQ Upgrade Secrets - PART 2. To turn OFF annoying notifications (all apps or just for one app) go to Settings, Apps, select the offending app, scroll down and uncheck the "notification" permission. Some versions of Android allow you to turn OFF all notifications for all apps in one step. Earlier versions generally do not. You have to turn OFF notifications individually, for each and every app. So it takes a minute or two longer. Good luck! Thanks for commenting.

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      According to alibaba.com there are hundreds of manufacturers of MXQ TV boxes. Those manufacturers may have all started with the same recipe, but experience shows the boxes they cook up are very different. Which ones have bluetooth hardware on the system board and which ones don't is anybody's guess. My MXQ, the one shown in the video, does not bluetooth hardware. If you think that all your box needs is bluetooth software, search apkpure.com for a "bluetooth" apk, install it, configure it, and see if it works. It certainly won't hurt to try. Just remember, you can't trust advertised specifications, and you can't what programs like aida64 say. They often report that bluetooth is present when in fact, all that's present is bluetooth software, not bluetooth hardware.

      Finally took my own advice. Just bought a $2.78 (with free shipping) "BLS-TX3 USB BlueTooth 5.0 Wireless USB Transmitter Adapter 3.5mm AUX Stereo Jack Cable For Headphone Speaker" from AliExpress and tried it on my MXQ. Unbelievable! It works great. Not only that, but it worked right away. No difficulty whatsoever. Turned on my MXQ and tuned into an Internet radio station. Plugged the BT adapter into USB 1 on the MXQ. Observed the adapter's blue LED blinking. Turned on my BT earphones. They paired automatically within 30 seconds. Observed the BT adapter's blue LED now on on solid. Plugged the included 3.5mm audio cable all the way into the BT adapter but only about about 1/2 way into the MXQ's A/V jack (NOT all the way in). Left and right stereo came through the BT earphones loud and clear. Perfect! First time ever on my MXQ that something worked right away. It actually took longer to write this update than it did to get the thing working!

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      "Problem parsing the package" means the app you're trying to install is not compatible with Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. To run Kodi 18.5 on MXQ you just need to reboot to an alternate OS. Watch Episode 3 of MBOX Frustrated User Guide, titled "Making Do with MXQ," for details. At about 7 minutes, it shows how to Reboot to LibreELEC and run Kodi 17.6 on MXQ. That was then. Today, you'd want to Reboot to AlexELEC and run Kodi 18.5. So, watch "Making Due with MXQ" first, to get an idea of how reboot to alternate OS works, then view the complete AlexELEC/Kodi 18.x FOR MXQ tutorial at: mxqproject.com/mxq-amlogic-s805-kodi-18-2-leia-update-now-possible/

      For an idea of what this box can do, please watch "Making Do with MXQ." That episode is pretty much still valid. But, due to world circumstances most of the streaming apps recommended in "MXQ Upgrade Secrets Parts 1 and 2 have stopped working." Don't bother installing them. As of earlier this year, even the official TH-cam app stopped working. So delete all the non-working apps from your box. Update Google Play services and install the Google app. Watch "MXQ Spring 2021 Upgrade Secrets" and with any luck, "MXQ 2022 Update Review," showing how to add 7,000 live TV channels to the box, should be out soon. Good luck. Thank you for commenting!

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      1. Regarding "no Internet connection," do you know if the original firmware was replaced with some alternate version? Usually, alternate firmware doesn't come with drivers for your networking hardware. If that's what happened, have you tried connecting by Ethernet wire? Sometimes only the Wi-Fi driver is missing. If neither Wi-Fi, nor Ethernet/LAN works after installing new firmware, then try to reinstall the original firmware. Otherwise, please watch MBOX WiFi Problems, Part 1, th-cam.com/video/xzQPV_PVTKk/w-d-xo.html and Part 2 th-cam.com/video/ez9rgjr39rE/w-d-xo.html and be sure to read through the comments. Valuable user experience there!
      2. Regarding "I follow all your tutorial... still isnt work... doesn't open the other apps..." While the instructions given (on how to prepare boxes with Android 4.4.2 for upgrade) in MXQ Upgrade Secrets Parts 1 and 2, are still 100% valid, very few (if any) of the other apps recommended are currently working. Google has even stopped the official TH-cam app from working on Android 4.4.2! So here's what does work: Follow the preparation instructions given in MXQ Spring 2021 Upgrade Secrets. Uninstall all non-working apps. Install the latest GooglePlay services for 4.4.2, the latest Google.apk for 4.4.2, etc. Then, visit www.rapidstreamz.live/ and download RapidStreamz.apk. At this moment, March, 2022, RapidStreamz works perfectly on Android 4.4.2. All of the Internet radio apps shown in MXQ Spring Upgrade Secrets also continue to work perfectly on Android 4.4.2. So does Miracast and IPTV player.
      3. For best results (amazing results), please watch dai.ly/k2o5azuTmeQerLwTPFH MXQ Upgrade Secrets Part 3. Two updates: As of today, 3/21/22, the latest version of AE is v3.3.3, and it comes with K v18.9. Due to current world circumstances, the new download location is github.com/AlexELEC/AE-AML/releases/tag/3.3.3, not the page shown in the video. If replacement firmware caused "no Internet connection," your Ethernet/LAN port will work again and even Wi-Fi will work again via cheap USB adapter. You'll be amazed by how well MXQ works after the Part 3 update. Good luck! Thanks for commenting.

    My android box is stick on logoi tried to reset it just give me a flash what is the problem

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You haven't indicated what box you have (make and model), what version of Android is or was on it, what happened just before the problem occurred (Was it updating? Did you try to install different firmware?), or exactly what steps you followed to try and reset the box, but generally speaking, when an OS hangs on the startup logo, it's looking for hardware that doesn't exist. So, either hardware on the motherboard broke, or the new firmware is looking for different hardware (Bluetooth, LAN, Wi-Fi, etc. ) Also, if the factory-installed firmware was auto updating, and the box got shut off before it completed, that could also cause the box to hang on startup. When that happens to a Smart TV, Wi-Fi no longer works, but the TV may (keyword = may) be able to complete its update by connecting it to a LAN using an ethernet cable. That often works, but patience is required. Hope this explanation helps. Thanks for commenting.

    Hi, will android 9.0 Google Play Services work on and android 8.1 box?

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It depends on the variant. Generally speaking, if the variant is labeled "Requires Android 4+ (or 5+, or 6+, or 7+, or 8+), Target Android 9, 10 or 11, then it will work on Android 8. If the variant is labeled "Requires Android 9+, Target Android 10 or 11, then it will NOT work on Android 8. Also, this episode of MBOX Frustrated User Guide tilted "MXQ Upgrade Secrets Part 1" is for people with old (2015-2016) MXQ TV boxes stuck on Android 4.4.2. Android 8 is infinitely more capable. For the latest info on how to update a box with Android 8, please watch "MBOX Ultimate Upgrade Secrets" (full version) at dai.ly/x81bjyc on Dailymotion. You'll find what you're looking for there. Good luck. Thanks for asking!

      No problem. Find what you're looking for at apkmirror.com and/or at any other online app provider. New versions have been coming out almost weekly. My MXQ with Android 4.4.2, last updated April, 2020, currently has Google Play Services 20.06.15 (000300-294478903). Expect to find a no dpi version for KitKat even newer than that.

    Does anyone have all these apks zipped up and ready for download? That would be awesome!

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  ปีที่แล้ว

      Generally, the answer would be no. Streaming apps come and go. Developers abandon them and move on to other projects. New streaming apps come on the scene. Constant updates to the new apps stop previous versions from working. Eventually, even the updated replacement apps are abandoned by their developers, and the cycle repeats. So, even if you could find a bundle of all the streaming apps mentioned in this episode, none of them would work. They've all been abandoned. To find out what is currently working on MXQ with Android 4.4.2, please watch www.dailymotion.com/video/x8b1s73 on DailyMotion. Be aware that RapidStreamz is up to v1.9, and not mentioned in that episode, but also working on MXQ with Android 4.4.2 as of today, 7/10/23, is ShowBox v11.5, SmartTubeNext v18.48, and SkyTube-Extra v2.986. Hope this helps. Please like and subscribe as it really helps the channel.

      @LawrencePina  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You should download recommended updates and apks using a Windows or Linux computer (not a Mac OS computer) and save directly to a flash drive formatted to FAT32 or NTFS. The latest exFAT format does not work with Android OS!
      Arrange the computer and drive, then download the very latest Google Play services (v20.36.14, dated September, 2020) from:
      www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-20-36-14-release/google-play-services-20-36-14-000300-331796208-android-apk-download/
      The latest Mobdro (v2.1.94) also works great with Android 4,1+ as does CyroseHD (v1.6.2AF). You'll want both.
      It's important to watch "MBOX Frustrated User Guide" from the beginning - all of the episodes. Why? Because if there's not enough Internet bandwidth (Episode 1), your MXQ won't work. If the time is wrong (Episode 2), your MXQ won't work. If you don't remove the junk and replace it with recommended updates, (Episodes 3, 4, 5), your MXQ won't work, and so on...
      You'll be amazed at what the box can do but you do have to watch the episodes. Good luck, and thanks for commenting!

The Internet Radio update shown in MBOX Audio Secrets Parts 1 and 2 also works well. These are the best two updates for older MXQ TV boxes with Android 4.4.2 right now. No complaints. But, without ongoing support from Movies Online HD and especially since Mobdro went offline (Feb. 10, 2021) Android 4.4.2 streaming has become quite limited.

    • @LawrencePina
      @LawrencePina  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If someone gave that box to me, here's what I would do:
      1. I'd uninstall ALL of the non working apps, just as instructed in MXQ Upgrade Secrets parts 1 and 2.
      2. I'd update Google Play services. Best place to get it right now is APKMirror.com, not APKPure.com.
      3. I'd set up IPTV as shown in th-cam.com/video/tN5vL_Ph3zI/w-d-xo.html MXQ Spring 2022 Upgrade Review, bearing in mind that the 7000+ channels we set up there is an overkill. Just set up those that are in your language and appeal to your interests.
      4. I'd at least look at dai.ly/k2o5azuTmeQerLwTPFH
      Get both of these upgrades installed, and it'll be pretty hard to find fault with the results, especially when you got the box for nothing. If that's not enough, there are other tips in every episode of MBOX Frustrated User Guide so why not watch them? Good luck! Thanks for commenting.

      "There was a problem parsing the package" means that the app you are trying to install requires a newer version of Android than is currently on the box. So, if the app you're trying to install needs Lollipop, but you've only got KitKat, look for an older version of that same app that works on KitKat.

Not an option for people who don't have Amazon accounts. Also not an option for people with Amazon accounts who value their privacy. Otherwise, I do agree with you. Firestick TV is faster. It is cheaper ( I only paid $20 for mine, Thanksgiving week, 2019) and it comes with the best remote in the business. Add the mouse toggle app and there's very little to complain about.

      Watch both dai.ly/x81bjyc MBOX Ultimate Upgrade Secrets and www.dailymotion.com/video/x8b1s73, MXQ Spring 2022 Upgrade Review as many times as necessary. Study those episodes! Follow the instructions carefully: Update Google Play services, install Goggle.apk (if not already installed), disable Google Play Store, uninstall all non working apps, replace the factory installed launcher with one that actually works (Leanback On Fire and/or ATV Launcher Pro), download your apps directly from the developers whenever possible (otherwise download from apkmirror.com, apk archive.com) and you should be all set. Now the question is, are you prepared to deal with the ever changing world of Android apps, the best of which are here today, gone tomorrow, the rest of which require constant updates? MBOXes are not for everyone. Most people are much better off with FireTV and/or Roku sticks because the associated services (Amazon and Roku) do most of the work for you. Good luck!
